ILC150E - SD-SDI Transmitter 4 Ch Analog/Digital AES Audio Embedder

InfinityLink provides broadcast-quality transport of video, audio, and data across IP- and fiber-based networks and optical backbones in an integrated modular solution leveraging Artel’s 30 years of media transport experience. Designed specifically to meet the unique requirements of broadcast video transport, InfinityLink features a 4-slot, 1-RU chassis; multi-purpose, single-piece function modules with front panel accessible status LEDs and video monitor ports; and external optics in all standard wavelengths for each module. InfinityLink is one of the most flexible and dependable video transport platforms.

ILC150E Module

The ILC150E is a flexible audio embedder and video transport card designed for use in the InfinityLink media transport platform. The ILC150E will embed analog or AES audio into SDI and SDTI as well as transport all standard 270Mb/s digital formats.

The ILC150E functions as both a 270Mb/s video over fiber optics transport module and a four channel analog or two stereo pair AES-3 digital audio embedder. Audio can be inserted into any one of four groups. Additional ILC150E modules can be cascaded to add additional audio groups.

The ILC150E uses Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optics including multi-mode and single-mode 1310nm, 1550nm, and CWDM options. Provisioning and monitoring is accomplished using switches, LEDs, front monitor jack, SNMPv2, or HTTP via InfinityLink Manager.
